Biography
Carvalho was born in Almeida in the Kingdom of Portugal, and became a general in the Portuguese Army. In 1700, however, Carvalho was dispatched far away to the East Indies, where he became the Governor of Goa, a vital trading center. Isolated from other Europeans, he fought against Mysore and was defeated many times; his colonial militia were no match for Hindu Musketeers.
